reading is not a problem until the cells are very "worn" and voltages read start to look like "noise", but even then error correction can help quite a bit.

The answer depends on the type of the flash chips used by the maker of the drive. Furthermore, beyond the technical limit on number of reads and writes one can do before exhausting the resource life, it truly matters how the controller manages the data. Entire companies have been started around algorithms for writing data to SSDs. Example, if your controller is "dumb" - it could write data into the same cells, as long as they are marked as free (so you write data, you delete data, you write data, repeat many times). If it does that to the same cell over and over - the cell may go out. You do that on a big portion of cells and your drive is toast. Now, the new generation of controllers is data/space aware and use algorithms to minimize the chance of such activity by spreading reads and writes across all cells.

So the answer your question - it depends! To know the true answer, one would need to know your exact hardware, chip used on that drive, what algorithm it uses, how data is changing and why type of memory chips are installed. Enterprise grade single SSDs are MLC type, yet new gen of controllers combined with SLC appear to be showing comparable life expectancy.

Heh...

Does this give FG CG flag? If not - it should.

You should be running Vsphere ESXi (free) if you are doing servers..

I was in that zone a few month ago - no problems pulling....

DNS will not cause this, Kernel can, as well as e1express (which is an intel network card driver, if memory serves me right).

While you don't think it is hardware - i t can be. Make sure to:

1 - update ALL drivers (for motherboard chipset, video, etc)
2 - run Memtest to test your RAM for errors
3 - run PRIME (for an hour or so) to test system stability under CPU load
4 - re-install Windows clean and run without the game to see if it crashes.

SKs can tank as good or better than warrior with lifetap....They can also do a form of CoH which isn't bad, even if it isn't a combat ability per se.

I have no major issues with being top

Uh, so AN6 and AN7 is bad, but making Wiz TOP is ok (considering you've got like 3-4)?     If this is not a sign of the class being powerful, then i don't know what is. I haven't seen anyone run around with 3-4 warriors...

Not gonna happen! I think wizards are overpowered and should be de-tuned. Perhaps take away their casting ability and use them as live bait for pulling mobs...

I would suggest restricting them by class (WAR) but allowing to put on either 2HS or 1HS. Perhaps in keeping with  AN4 (1500DD and 125000Hate) and AN5 (1000 AE dmg( - AN6 should be (25000 DD+125000 hate) and AN7 should be 2000 direct damage).

OR

make AN6 1HS and AN7 2HS.

Just has all toons kicked out... no EZ on login screen - 3pm Pacific time

Hunter - Please don't pass up this thread - this is a great idea and consensus is that it will not trivialize UC, but will improve the quality of the EZ experience.

 

Xiggie - I don't go all minimalistic when i load my chars. I don't turn off every effect and don't mess with NPC models...

Ok, with the statement about the video card, what is more important with running more instances, IE more toons with EQ. More HP ie processor, more ram, or a high end better video card?

CPU and RAM. Around a gig (plus or minus) of RAM per toon. With CPU it is a little tricker - newer CPUs can handle more toons per core. With older processors - one char per core seems about right. So for example someone said they have Quad Core 2500K - this will run 8-10 chars, while my Q6600 Quad core runs 6 without too much trouble but running more would  be problematic.
